HOW I DRAW A REALISTIC EYE:  1.) I sketch the eye with my H pencil.  2.) Then I shade in the pupil with my mechanical HB pencil. (0.7 lead).  3.) I add the highlights in the iris.  4.) I darken the iris’s rim and then continue to layer iris.  5.) I do so by starting to blend the iris with a q-tip.  6.) I draw lines from the pupil of the iris.  7.) I blend with q-tip.  8.) I darken the iris and the pupil with my mechanical pencil.  9.) I erase the highlight, and then blend with q-tip. I add a few extra lines over the highlight so it will blend a little better.  10.) I darken the eyelid with my mechanical pencil.  11.) I blend the eye lid with my blending stump and q-tip.  12.) I add a little shading to the eyelid with my 4h pencil.  13.) I blend the shading with a q-tip then with a tissue to lighten.  14.) I darken the eyelid again and then blend with blendin...
